Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
• 4 medium carrots, diced
• 4 stalks celery, diced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1⁄4 cup (60 mL) parsley, chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 6 cups (1.5 L) chicken stock [look for gluten-free, allergen-free brands.]
• 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil

• rice – prepare 2 cups (when uncooked) of your favourite rice or rice blend. (We chose wild rice with long grain white.)

Method

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook chicken breasts 12-15 minutes or until done. Remove and allow to rest. Dice.
2. In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 2-4 minutes, until golden. Add garlic, carrots, celery and bay leaf, continuing to sauté for another 3-4 minutes.
3. Add chicken stock and simmer over low heat 10-12 minutes until vegetables are tender.
4. Stir in chicken, cooked rice and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Suggestion: This wholesome soup can be refrigerated, then reheated (don’t boil) and ladled into a Thermos.
